This was Jack at dinner tonight. He had the hardest time staying awake. Poor guy.

So we have been here just two days and are having a great time. The boys are enjoying more time with Papa and Grandma and I have even had a chance to have some down time. No house to clean, no heavy loads of laundry to do, and some shopping to satisfy. We so appreciate Papa and Grandma for bringing us here and taking such good care of us. We love you very much!!! We miss Daddy at home to though. Hope you are having some well earned peace and quiet honey.

Got it just in time before Jackson took off to explore and Samson fell over.

I seem to always be the one behind the camera. Grandma took this one special for us.

Samson and Grandma. Not a peep from Samson. He sat the whole time and took it all in. Just before we got back home he dosed off.

We ran him hard. It must have worked because he was a dream to put to bed.

You pucker your lips out like this.

Jackson got up this morning jumping and excited to go. This is how he greeted me when I woke up. GOOF!!

Grandma bought a popcorn treat even Sunny can eat. Here the boys are enjoying it from the back of the dump truck. YUM!!!

My brother was supposed to be in this picture with me, but if you know Jackson he never sits still long enough.

Just finish my tray of food and then off to PaPa's and Grandma's!!!

This was Samson and Grandma Nelson the day before we left to come to Calgary. We tuckered Grandma out I think.

It has been a while since I posted anything. My sister Michelle is getting anxious about seeing some updates since she has seen us 2 weeks ago and so Sorry Michelle I will take some pictures and post for you tomorrow.
Not much is new. The boys and I are in Calgary right now with my parents and Garry is off to Vancouver for training. We love you Garry and hope you are having some fun. Night everyone and we will see you soon. Love from Jack Sam and Melissa and in spirit Garry.

Today was a yearly start. We had baths, were dressed and breakfast all by 8am. In the car by 8:10 and off to the grocery store .... and Walmart.........and Londondarry mall quick. The boys each got a new hamper as you can see. This is the only way we can keep them in one spot. Perfect for timeout!! NO just kidding. Now the house is quiet, Garry is at the office and then driving all over the country side, I am beside myself with nothing to do. Crazy I know. The house has been cleaned from top to bottom.... for now, and nothing much to do but sit and blog I suppose.

"Not working Mom" Jack said.

Jackson said to me " I get him Mom!!".

Brotherly love.

FINALLY got the boys to sit together to take the shot and the flash was set to off. GOOD GRIEF! So the bright light in the corner is a lamp that was turned on. Jackson looks small next to Samson. Jackson will be three in October and Samson is going to be the Big ONE at the end of September.

Samson is totally weaned now. We did it in four days from start to finish and though he wasn't to impressed, he has done great considering.

This post has lots of Samson pictures because it is so hard to get Jack to stay still for any. Even while trying to take this picture he kept moving at the last second before it took. GOOF!!!

This is our sick little boy. He is cutting more teeth and has a really sore mouth and super bad bum. Just a little temperature this morning and not to eager to do anything.

It is cold and yucky outside again today and both boys are dressed up all warm a cozy. Jackson took a little time this morning to relax and enjoy a bit of "Little Bear" on treehouse. Oh and his in his new Doodlebop sippers Auntie Chelle picked up for him. He keeps reminding me that they are " new and nice." Thank you Auntie Chelle!!!!

I was changing around the living room the other day AGAIN and Sunny was pushing this bench around the room and got caught by the couch.

Samson took a his first big fall the other day and has the goose egg to prove it. Poor little man.

The boys had a blast spending yesterday afternoon in the new sand box Uncle Rob and Auntie Suzanne gave us. We had the mister going to keep us cool, the umbrella up to keep the sun out and great new toys to keep then all occupied and happy. Thanks Rob and Sue. They love it and so do we!!!!

Discovering the world of sand!! I'm not sure what had more sand by the end. The sand box or Samson's mouth.

Then! A whole 5 lbs . So tiny.

And now! Where has the time gone?

Jackson has been home almost a week now. He woke up on Monday morning calling
"Maja, Chelsea , KIDS where are you?" These pictures were taken on Monday. They both played amazingly. Jack was not feeling to great. He had a fever and not so pleasant other things! He was sitting reading books for a good two hours here.

A whole new world from the kitchen window.
